I normally get up at about 3.30 / 4.00am, have a spot of breakfast and say 'tara' to the Desk Sergeant, pay me bail money and then go home..have a kip til 5.15am, get up then get into work for about 6:00am. Get home at about 2.00pm, watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Californication, have me tea..then repeat as above.. :whistle :whistle :whistle
